Is there a large chamber version of the A87 head? I have an A87 closed chamber cylinder head and the combustion chamber measures 55cc, all the information I've been able to find says the chamber volume should be in the 41-45cc range. Does anyone know what this head is from? The chambers are not modified.

Raise the valves up off their seats and rub a little grease on the faces to help seal them. No way its 55cc. Only thing I can see is you are allowing the surface tension to bulge up and above the head surface.

I used a plastic CD case with a small hole near the edge. Run a little grease around the combustion chamber to seal the case against it with the hole near the edge and press flat. To measure cc's I used a child's plastic liquid medicine 'syringe' that holds 10cc. Pharmacist gave it to me when I told him what it was for. Four full 10cc squirts and tilt the head slightly to allow air bubbles out the hole. finish filling. An unshaved closed chamber head should be 41cc and open chamber 45.3cc.

I used a 1/4" thick piece of acrylic with 2 small holes, one to fill one to vent, a 100ml lab burette and sealed the plate to the head and the valves with white grease. I also checked the burette calibration against a syringe. I'm sure I must be doing something wrong because I got a similar inaccurate reading when I tried to cc the dome on the piston. How much of an effect will the fluid used have? I used RV antifreeze (mostly for the color).I'll try to get some pictures later when I go out to the shop.

Mine was repeatable, did Z20, Z22 and Z24 heads twice, all were 57cc. The dose syringe is graduated in 1/10ths and available at WallMart or any pharmacy for a buck or two. The best of all, this low tech total cost was zero.
